84.6%Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 Laptop Review | NotebookcheckSlim with a powerful GPU. Asus has once again managed to have the slimmest device. For now. This time it is the ROG Zephyrus GX501 gaming laptop. Despite its height of just 17.9 millimeters (~0.7 in), the 15-inch notebook is shipped with an Intel Core i7 quad-core CPU and the Nvidia GTX 1080 with the brand-new "Max-Q" design. We have already had the chance to review the ultra-slim gamer. Update: Higher rating thanks to second test model.

83%ASUS GX501 Zephyrus Gaming Laptop ReviewKälla: Think DigitEN→SVThe ASUS ROG GX501 Zephyrus bridges the gap between performance and portability. At Digit, we simply can’t count the number of times that we’ve been asked for recommendations that could not only provide great portability but also not compromise on performance. Often, the answer was an either-or but never could you have an option with both. The ROG GX501 gives you great portability thanks to its 18 mm thickness and low weight of 2.25 kg. However, it’s still a 15.6-inch laptop which will dissuade some buyers. On the performance front, the Max-Q enabled GTX 1080 can easily handle every single AAA game running at Ultra settings. The downside is that the battery doesn’t last long and that was never a concern while gaming. Fristående test, finns online, Lång, Datum: 01/15/2018Betyg:Totalpoäng: 83%

80%Asus ROG Zephyrus (GX501) ReviewKälla: ToptenreviewsEN→SVThe Zephyrus is undeniably beautiful to look at and unprecedentedly powerful for such a thin and lightweight laptop. It’s far from perfect, with short battery life, a variable display and throttled performance on-battery, and these detract from the initial thrill. Despite this, I recommend it if you’re after the very best gaming laptop. CHRISTOPHER MINASIANS Fristående test, finns online, Kort, Datum: 12/05/2017Betyg:Totalpoäng: 80%

ASUS Zephyrus Max Q Gaming Notebook ReviewKälla: eTeknixEN→SVI am blown away by how fast the storage is on this system. When it comes to a cold start, you’re looking at the desktop in just a few seconds. Even the biggest games we tested booted in record times. You’ll be wasting very little time looking at loading screens. Throwing in a cool USB mouse, and a rubber wrist rest sweeten the deal too. As it make the overall user experience that little bit more enjoyable. Fristående test, finns online, Mycket lång, Datum: 11/22/2017

Asus ROG Zephyrus Review: Cutting Down the Heft with Max QKälla: Lowyat.netEN→SVThe Asus ROG Zephyrus is a solid first effort from Asus; particularly considering that this is the sort of thing we would never have thought possible. However, its shortcomings feel like the work of engineers still getting used to the idea of having to build smaller and thinner, while still being locked into the idea of bigger is better. Nevertheless, there is promise; it is the first Max Q laptop from Asus, after all. Fristående test, finns online, Lång, Datum: 10/26/2017

65%Asus ROG Zephyrus Review: Great At Gaming, But Not Much ElseKälla: The VergeEN→SVAt the end of the day, I’ve got very mixed feelings about the Zephyrus. As it stands now, it’s a pricey gaming machine in an ultrabook’s clothing, but with none of the benefits of a more conventional laptop besides for size. Asus doesn’t even make any real effort to hide the fact that this is meant for gaming — the glowing LEDs and edgy design are still front and center (and on the bottom and the sides — Asus really likes its logos). And at the price, you can almost buy a Razer Blade for gaming and a Surface Laptop for regular use and still come out at roughly the same cost.

Asus Republic of Gamers Zephyrus — Australian ReviewKälla: AusdroidEN→SVThe Zephyrus laptop by Asus is without a doubt and engineering marvel, it’s a gorgeous piece of hardware with the Ferrari of gaming engines inside it. It will handle anything you choose to throw at it with power to spare. It’s got a really nicely calibrated screen which is easy on your eyes and when work stops, play can begin.

90%ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501VI ReviewKälla: ToptenreviewsEN→SVThe laptop sounds like a lot for its level of performance (by comparison, the RoG Strix GL502VS that it barely outperforms). But in this case, you’re paying for the convenience of a sleek, tiny frame, and the engineering required to keep everything cool and quiet.

ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501VI review – a gaming ultrabook with a desktop-like performance?Källa: Laptop MediaEN→SVFinally, we have a new generation of ultra thin gaming notebooks without sacrificing too much performance. The ASUS ROG Zephyrus is one of the first of its kind and impresses with high-quality build (although a bit flexible at times but given the thickness of the case, it’s quite understandable), unmatched portability and desktop-like performance. What we didn’t like about the design, though, is the shallow keyboard and Numpad/touchpad hybrid solution. Also, due to the design limitations, ASUS wasn’t able to put a monstrous battery inside the chassis, so battery life suffers quite a lot as a result.

90%ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501Källa: T BreakEN→SVWe have always known that there would one day be a time when slim and lightweight gaming laptops would match up with the high-end gaming desktops. The NVIDIA Max-Q design technology helps to deliver gaming performances from slim notebooks that can rival desktop graphics cards with good battery efficiency. While we were certainly surprised that the performance didn’t drop when playing on battery mode, the battery can still get drained quickly.

Asus ROG Zephyrus GX501 review: Nvidia Max-Q makes it incredibly thin and powerfulKälla: Good Gear GuideEN→SVYou almost have to think of the ROG Zephyrus GX501 as the laptop for those who typically would buy a big, fat gaming laptop because it was the only way to get performance in a semi-portable device. The GX501 lets those folks finally have the performance they crave without the weight and bulk penalty. Fristående test, finns online, Lång, Datum: 07/24/2017

85%ASUS ROG Zephyrus review: Gaming laptops will never be the same againKälla: EngadgetEN→SVNo matter how you look at it, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus is remarkable. It marks a new era for gaming laptops, one where you can expect a thin, 5-pound notebook to pack as much power as an 8- to 10-pound machine from a few years ago. It could conceivably be the answer to all of your gaming needs, even on your television, since it's easy to move around your house. It's a shame that the battery life stinks, but that's a decent compromise for a gaming laptop unlike any other. Fristående test, finns online, Mycket lång, Datum: 07/22/2017Betyg:Totalpoäng: 85%

ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 GTX 1080 Max-Q Gaming NotebookKälla: PC PerspectiveEN→SVFor gamers looking for a portable gaming machine, that they can take from location to location, set on a table, and start gaming, the Zephyrus is a great option. In this scenario, there is little trade off between a traditional gaming notebook form factor and this Max-Q design. You gain portability while maintaining acceptable performance levels for the integrated 1080p display. Even though performance of the GTX 1080 with Max-Q Design seems to more closely mimic the performance of a desktop GTX 1070, that is still a lot of power for a 1080p screen. And it is possible that other OEMs Max-Q implemenations may fare better. Fristående test, finns online, Mycket lång, Datum: 07/21/2017

ASUS ROG Zephyrus GX501 Review: A Thin, Powerful Max-Q Gaming LaptopKälla: Hot HardwareEN→SVOverall, the ASUS ROG Zephyrus is an excellent gaming notebook if you've got the budget and like its design, but it could use a bit more refinement and a couple of tweaks before we'd consider it the perfect gaming ultrabook.

70%Asus Republic of Gamers Zephyrus ReviewKälla: Computer ShopperEN→SVWe expected the GTX 1080 Max-Q chip in the Asus Zephyrus to perform better than it did. According to our real-world game testing, it was barely 10 percent faster than the standard GTX 1070 that you can find in 15.6-inch notebooks for several hundred less. Based on that, we might be tempted to conclude that the Zephyrus puts form over function. But, that would be a conclusion you’d arrive at only if you didn’t see or handle this notebook in person.

Hands-on with the ASUS ROG Zephyrus: A new breed of slim and very, very powerful notebooksKälla: Hardware ZoneEN→SVHowever, the Zephyrus isn’t quite a utopian fantasy yet. There’s been scant mention of battery life, both on ASUS’ and NVIDIA’s end. The Zephyrus packs a 50Wh battery, which seems painfully small, so we’ll really have to test it out to see how good (or bad) it is. Fristående test, finns online, Medellängd, Datum: 07/08/2017

ASUS ROG GX501 Zephyrus Review: Finally, A Gaming Notebook That You Can Take AnywhereKälla: UnboxEN→SVPowerful gaming notebooks are not hard to find nowadays – ASUS and their competitors are all offering hard-hitting Pascal-powered gaming notebooks. Thin and light gaming notebooks, however, are harder to find and the ROG GX501 Zephyrus is one of the thinnest gaming notebooks around that has a GTX 1080 graphics card, and it won’t break your back when you carry it around with you.

A gaming laptop that lifts itself up to cool itself downKälla: CNetEN→SVMaybe you really do need a hidden riser under the bottom panel in order to get a powerful Nvidia 1080 GPU inside a 5-pound, 15-inch laptop. In practice it looks a little silly and certainly doesn't make the body feel sturdier or more damage-resistant. But it didn't take away from my overall experience while gaming with the oddly named Zephyrus. Fristående test, finns online, Medellängd, Datum: 06/27/2017

Asus ROG Zephyrus (GX501VI)Källa: PC MagEN→SVThe Asus ROG Zephyrus is an excellent first representation of what's possible with the Max-Q design. The partnership between Nvidia and Asus looks to have yielded a new high-water mark for performance in a thin, 15.6-inch laptop, even if there are a couple caveats. The Zephyrus' design is aesthetically tasteful, it weighs under 5 pounds, costs less than several GTX 1080 laptops, and can play games on maximum settings comfortably above 60fps like a high-end gaming laptop should. We've seen some of what's already on the way with Max-Q, but I'm very intrigued to see what other manufacturers will do, and if the Zephyrus' bottom panel vent innovation will remain a thermal solution given its pros and cons. Max-Q looks likely to stick around, and the Zephyrus is a good demonstration of the performance and design possible with the approach. Fristående test, finns online, Lång, Datum: 06/27/2017

Nonetheless we cannot get away from the thought that a GTX 1080 Max-Q that runs 300MHz slower than a regular GTX 1080 should probably have a name that reflects the lower performance.

Hands-on: Asus ROG Zephyrus reviewKälla: PC AdvisorEN→SVThere's very little to dislike about the Asus ROG Zephyrus. As one of the first Nvidia Max-Q devices, this thin and light laptop has incredible specs including a full-blown GTX 1080. It might be expensive but it's cheaper than Acer's rival, but we want to know things like battery life still. Fristående test, finns online, Medellängd, Datum: 06/01/2017

ASUS ROG Zephyrus Quick Review: The Razer Blade Pro KillerKälla: UnboxEN→SVWe played a little bit with the Zephyrus during the ROG event, playing Forza Horizon 3 on the highest setting possible. Gameplay was generally smooth, though we did hit a few rough spots here and there. We’re going to attribute that to the beta software drivers running in the Zephyrus during the event. ASUS Reps assure us that final software drivers will be used when the unit ships later this year. Fristående test, finns online, Kort, Datum: 05/31/2017
